In the dark of the night, sparks flew, accompanied by the clanging sounds of iron being hammered.
The crimson stove continued to burn, and Ma Wen was covered in soot as he added charcoal.
"You're putting in too much!"
"The higher the temperature of the flame, the better!"
Once Sean started working, his temper became unusually bad.
Although he was a human, his temper was very similar to that of a dwarf. When he hammered, his temper was bad and stubborn, and he would drink.
In this strange half plane, as his apprentice, Ma Wen was the only one he could order around.
He could only bear it silently!
This was because this was his advancement mission. As a poor blacksmith apprentice, he had to learn blacksmithing skills from Sean for a year!
His mission panel had already changed. The previous mission had been completed, and 1500 universal experience points had been transferred to his account.
Now, it showed the second part of the advancement stage. The reward was 2000 universal experience points and the qualification to enter the next round.
It had to be said that this mission was really a torture!
For a whole year, Marvin could only stay by Sean's side and help him with his chores.
Other than the necessary rest and meal time, most of the time, Ma Wen was accompanied by the stove and the hammer!
The old blacksmith did not bluff him.
This mission's degree of patience was simply infuriating!
Fortunately, Ma Wen was also a very ruthless man!
Since he had accepted this mission, he could not give up halfway!
It was not that he did not know that other than being a Nightwalker, there were other ways to advance as a Ranger.
However, he was at odds with the old blacksmith!
This fellow scolded Ma Wen all day, saying that Ma Wen was like a woman and weak.
A real man should pick up the hammer and forge his own weapon!
Ma Wen did not express any opinion on this, but he still did it silently!
His physique was indeed too weak.
He also lacked strength.
Hammering could indeed have a certain degree of training effect.
Time passed day by day. In the first month, Ma Wen could still be considered to be patient and followed the old blacksmith hammering.
In the third month, he began to become extremely irritable. When the old blacksmith scolded him, he began to fight back with all kinds of fancy profanities. Sometimes, he could choke Sean and make him speechless.
Half a year later, he was completely numb. The Japanese uniform repeated the old blacksmith's task as usual.
He didn't even look at what those jobs were!
In his eyes, all kinds of ores were about the same, and all kinds of forging techniques were about the same.
He was a lord, and if he left this damned place, he probably wouldn't be able to touch anything in the blacksmith's shop for the rest of his life.
But even so, after a long period of training, not only did Ma Wen obtain the Life Profession, [Blacksmith], but his EXP was also increasing rapidly.
Ma Wen did not allocate any EXP to the profession, but when the horrifying year was about to end, Ma Wen still managed to raise the profession to [Intermediate]!
If Ma Wen remembered correctly, the best blacksmith in the entire White River Valley was only at the intermediate level!
"This is hilarious. I actually became an Intermediate Blacksmith. "
"A blacksmith lord … There aren't many in the whole of Fernand, right?"
He complained in his heart.
The clanging sound kept ringing in Ma Wen's ears, and he even felt a little nervous!
In the last month, Sean did not teach Ma Wen any other blacksmithing skills. Instead, he began to forge a weapon himself.
Ma Wen could only be an assistant at the side.
He only had one thought now, and that was to quickly pass this damned apprenticeship period!
He had not been in Fernand for a long time, and he did not expect to spend a whole year in the Night Lord's half plane!
If not for the different flow of time, Ma Wen would not have done such an inefficient thing.
And it was also very boring.
"Brat! Don't look around. There's nothing to see here. "
"Throw that piece of molten rock over here!"
"And that scroll, yes, it's on the shelf behind you!"
In the face of Sean's orders, Ma Wen was already numb, and could only silently execute.
Days passed, and the weapon that Sean forged seemed to be gradually taking shape.
But later, he simply left Ma Wen aside and let him practice his blacksmithing skills by the side of another stove.
Ma Wen could only do as he was told.
"What is this old guy doing so mysteriously?"
Marvin thought to himself in boredom as he forged the coarsest ores.
…
Time passed by in this boring exercise.
On the last day, Sean called Ma Wen over from beside the stove.
On the weapon platform, there was a faintly discernible object.
But it was covered with a layer of cloth.
Sean said tiredly, "Boy, congratulations, your apprenticeship period is over."
"You actually survived for a year. Teenagers nowadays don't have such a temperament."
Nonsense … Ma Wen complained in his heart. I'm not that kind of jumpy teenager anymore. Of course, he knew that although Sean's test was boring, it was beneficial to him!
In the process of forging for a whole year, Ma Wen grew from a 14-year-old to a 15-year-old, and he looked more mature.
Most importantly, his biceps and pectoral muscles had bulged out a lot! He seemed to have grown a little taller.
The data was the most intuitive. In this year's exercise, his strength had increased by 1 point, and his physique had increased by 2 points!
A year's worth of training was actually equivalent to 3 attribute points!
Ma Wen was not a fool. The blacksmithing skills that Sean taught him were definitely not ordinary forging techniques.
It definitely included some secret methods to train physique and strength. Only in this way could such a strong effect be achieved.
3 attribute points! If it was calculated in terms of leveling up, he would need to level up six times to obtain such an effect!
Although everything could not be so simple, completing Sean's test was a small improvement for Ma Wen's strength!
At least his physique had improved a lot, and he would not be so fragile anymore!
As for the 2,000 points of universal experience, it came at the right time. He was now facing advancement, and he was most lacking in experience.
Generally speaking, advancement missions had three stages. He had already completed two of them, and after completing the third, he could advance.
By then, he would have to consume a lot of experience to activate all the abilities of the advancement profession!
Ma Wen did not want to be in an awkward situation where he completed the advancement mission, but did not have the experience to pay for the advancement.
…
"Patience is a necessary quality for a Nightwalker."
"As a reward for your patience, this is for you. Whether or not you can get the approval of the Night Lord to become a Nightwalker, this is my gift to you."
Sean said, pointing to the item on the weapons table.
Ma Wen was stunned.
He did not expect that the thing that Sean spent a whole year to forge was actually for him!
Although he had been Sean's assistant, he also knew how much precious materials and energy Sean had spent to forge this item!
"Don't just stand there, boy." Sean snorted. "This is probably the last magic item I'll forge in my life."
Magic item!
Ma Wen's eyes were shining!
He could not wait to lift the layer of blue cloth!
There was a scimitar lying quietly underneath!
The scimitar was red in color, and the blade was extremely sharp, but the handle was very warm.
"Is this the effect of Molten Rock?"
Ma Wen held the scimitar in his hand, quietly feeling the power of the scimitar.
"It's called [Prairie Rage]." Sean looked at his work and showed a trace of satisfaction. "I dare say that even the items made by those Dwarven masters are no better than this."
Ma Wen nodded. After a simple Detection, the attributes of the scimitar were revealed:
[Prairie Rage]:
Quality: Magic
Attack: 13-18
Effect 1: Armor Penetration + 7
Effect 2: Shatter + 7
Additional Spell – [Prairie Rage] (Once per day)
Additional Spell: Arcane Missile (Three Times Per Day)
…
Magic weapon!
This was the first magic item that Ma Wen had obtained since his transmigration.
And it was a very sharp scimitar!
His mood could no longer be described as excited.
"I …" He was just about to thank Sean for the gift, but the old man's face turned serious. "Take it and leave!"
"Opening the Night Lord's demiplane consumes a lot of energy!"
He immediately pulled Ma Wen and quickly left Evernight Paradise.
The two reappeared in the basement and walked to the blacksmith's shop.
It was late at night, and everything was quiet. Nothing had changed. After all, only a day had passed.
However, Ma Wen felt as if a lifetime had passed.
"Let's go. Cheer up, "Sean suddenly urged." The last stage of the test is about to begin. "
"You need to experience the baptism of the Night Lord!"
"We must enter the Thousand Leaves Forest immediately. Follow me!"
(There are only a thousand votes left to reach the 50,000 mark. Everyone, work hard! For the sake of Marvin's hard work in forging!)
